Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The mystery around the abduction of Nancy Guthrie from her bed while she slept sounds worse with every passing hour.  NBC's Savanah Guthrie has released a statement of hope even as authorities say they found blood and signs of a struggle in the home.  We don't know a motive and they haven't named a person of interest.  This is awful.
   A whole bunch of singers said crazy things about ICE and such at the GRAMMY Awards Sunday but one in particular stands out as the dumbest.  Now she may get visitors to her house taking her up on her offer that there are no borders and nobody is illegal on any property.  This could get good.
  Dan Bongino returns to podcasting and made a statement that's as lame as his work at the FBI.
   In sports, the Royals have a new tv deal that should work out for you.  KU is rolling as Darryn Peterson drops two huge three pointers at the end of the game at Tech.  But Flory was the story of this one as KU's defense is just ridiculous right now.  Watch out for this team!
   Mizzou has two McDonald's All Americans for the first time.  Kelvin Sampson laments the current rules of transfer and NIL, Roger Goodell is asked about Bad Bunny playing halftime and former Royal Chris Getz is now GM of the White Sox and announces an interesting change he made in the plumbing of the team's locker room.  It's our Final Final and you have to hear this.

   So much buildup and so little sizzle as Mayor Q is a panelist on CBS Face the Nation and I'm really disappointed.  We were hoping he'd be asked about KC being the per capita homeless capital of America or his police chief declaring "drastic" measures to cutback the force because the budget is whacked.  Instead, he almost got edited out completely.
   The word around the cowtown is the Chiefs will be announcing the exact location of their new stadium this week... we'll tell you where the smart money is.  Meanwhile, the Royals say they will be announcing their decision sooner than later where they are going.
   NBA coach Steve Kerr has been forced to apologize for his outrageous lies about the Trump administration and ICE.  It was real.  But another coach won't back off and is worried ICE will start kidnapping international players and sending them home.  What a fool.
   KU star Darryn Peterson sits again after KU built a huge lead over BYU.  He's healthy for tonight's game so maybe this was something else.  I have a new theory.
   Mark Turgeon is the new basketball coach at Kansas City (UMKC) and this is a great hire.  Goalies throw down at center ice and one of the world's most famous musicians makes a video in the middle of the Tallgrass Prairie reserve in the Flint Hills.

   What if I told you there's a conservative broadcaster that owns his own media company and is seen as a controversial outsider by members of old school, liberal media and politicians?  What if he was the kind of plain spoken truth teller unafraid of what anyone thinks?
    If we aren't talking about your humble host, you'd probably think this would be a really great person to have on KKHI.
   Meet Scott Faughn, publisher of www.themissouritimes.com.  He just purchased three more newspapers in Missouri and has his finger on the pulse of everything going on in the Show-Me state.  He knows the governor well.  And yes, he's a Cardinals fan.  You may even hear us spar over the 1985 World Series a smidge.  But we also talk about no income tax, the state of life in KC vs. St. Louis and Trump's tariffs upsetting Missouri farmers.   You're going to enjoy this one

   A new video of left wing agitator Alex Pretti was released by the BBC and it shows Pretti spitting at federal agents, screaming eff you's, flipping the bird and kicking out the tail lights of their car.  Peaceful protest indeed.  Pretti, carrying a gun, was taken to the ground and according to CNN suffered a broken rib.  Amazingly, the didn't see the gun and let him go.  Agents drove away.  It's no wonder these thugs think they can get away with anything.
   Bruce Springsteen has a new song for the people of Minneapolis and my inbox is filling up with listeners that are deleting him from the playlists.
   Mayor Q says on radio that he was listening to our reporting about the Royals on Tuesday and I"m actually very happy for him.  If a mayor found a way to get baseball downtown without a public vote, he deserves a statue at the new park.
   Vahe Gregorian of the KC Star pens a piece on why he didn't vote for Bill Belichick for the Hall of Fame, the very first person to admit it.  When you hear his reason, you will understand just how different liberals and conservatives are in the way they think.
  Adam Schefter reports Gardner Minshew is 100% healthy and never did blow out his ACL.  That means something bad was going on with the Chiefs, or their doctors.
   And gentlemen, we're about to share something with you that isn't available anywhere but KC.  Its a new concept called www.flexcaves.com and its a place for business, storing a car or boat or having your weekly poker game and smoking cigars in a condo-like storage unit.  They break ground this year in Martin City and Brett Johnson is here to explain why he thinks his ideas will be a huge hit.

   What if the Royals played everyone here and were actually the smartest, most brilliant business tacticians in all of this Kansas City stadium drama?   It's either that or they are the luckiest outfit ever.  We'll let you decide but there's no denying 5 years ago the Royals said they were getting a new stadium and they wanted it downtown.  When that failed at every turn, did they use Overland Park and Kansas officials for leverage to get what they wanted?  Did they let the Chiefs move first, something they know doubt knew was in the works, to let the freak out happen?  It's possible.  If not... wow were they lucky.
   Hey, turns out Alex Pretti was known to the feds as a problem... we have some details.  Also in Minneapolis, an agitator confronts Ilhan Omar and, get this, the Minneapolis local police arrest the guy.  Go figure.
  Bill Belichick fails to get the vote to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame and it shows just how absurd and petty the committee members are.  The Chiefs name two local architecture firms working to design their new stadium.  I don't think it's a competition.  Darryn Peterson is ready to rock Saturday against BYU and their star freshman AJ Dybansta.  K-State has a buyout problem with Jerome Tang, Mizzou gets drilled at Alabama.
   A billionaire is paying our Olympic athletes and a man in New Jersey is ordered by his wife to return expensive orange juice to the store and it turns out your wife always knows best.  You have to hear this Final Final.

   According to Missouri lawmaker Mike Jones, KC Mayor Quinton Lucas has $500 million in the Port KC slush fund that he's offering the Royals to build a ball park in KCMO.  Jones says this should require a vote... but that isn't how this game is played.  There was no vote in Kansas.  Give Q credit for finding a way, even if it feels wrong.  And if this number is true, the Missouri offer could actually top the Kansas offer.
   In Kansas, the Senate Democrats Chief of Staff has told people in his circle the Royals to Overland Park is a "done deal," but the announcement has to wait.   Information obtained by KKHI shows that Cory Sheedy believes the city of Overland Park and T-Mobile are delaying the inevitable move.  This would all make sense as the mortgage holder of the land has told T-Mobile they will not be renewing the lease when it expires.  The Royals and OP, at all cost, must not allow 5000 T-Mobile jobs leave KC and relocate to Bellevue, Washington.  This is tricky,
   Tom Homan is on the ground in Minneapolis and set to meet with the Mayor to calm down the insanity in that city.
   Andy Reid basically fired Matt Nagy and now he's lobbying to get him hired because Nagy is a "gem."  The Royals sign a deal with Circa Sports Book for premium experiences with the team and at Kauffman Stadium.  We have some tasty Super Bowl nuggets for you, a moment of silence at a hockey game goes wrong and the daredevil climber on Netflix last weekend got ripped off.

   The problems in Minneapolis are created by leaders that are more than willing to sacrifice their own voters going to prison, getting injured or in extreme cases of attacking federal agents, getting killed.   How is it that democrats break the law and act like those laws shouldn't be followed... and somehow that inspires people?  This whole thing is insane.
   Maybe not as insane as the man that climbed a skyscraper with no ropes or safety devices, live on Netflix.  Wow was this hard to watch.
   KU closes strong to beat a really awful KSU team as we predicted they would.  But the huge celebration was a little beneath their once great status.  Mizzou made history with a pair of buzzer beaters in a wild win over OU.  Two former high school athletes from KC made huge news with the best game by a college player this year while the other make the Olympic bobsled team.
   And Stan has a few minutes for us today to talk about Andy Reid's coaching hires and the NFL Championship games from Sunday.

   Predicting what Trump will do next is a whole lot easier than predicting sports.  Our president finished up Greenland, laid waste to the globalists at Davos and now turns his attention to Canada and their terribly disrespectful Prime Minister.  Welcome to the next great theater.
   Arrests have been made of the bullies that ended that church service in St. Paul a few days ago and guess what, they are paid professionals to organize such events.  And its very, very illegal to interfere with worship.  And these could be double hate crimes as they were chanting slurs about white people.  But Don Lemon claims he was just a journalist there and so far, the courts agree he shouldn't be charged.  Here we go!
  A famous rapper sues the KCPD, Missouri officials (rightfully) meet in secrecy in Jeff City to try to save the Royals from leaving to Kansas.  I'll preview the NFL title games and Bill Self is back on the court at Bramlage Saturday night... we hit on some KU-KSU hoops.
   Then, I play a clip of my friend www.dannyclinkscale.com as we had quite a discussion on a Patron's Podcast Thursday.  One of our topics was Carlos Beltran into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  You won't believe how much Danny dislikes this.
  And our Final Final is Mr. Wonderful turning to acting.  It's true.

   Let's call all the work president Trump is doing in Davos "Sovereignty over Globalism" as he tears down the old world order of socialist ideals. Greenland...check.  Peace Board... check.  Cancel Gavin Newsom's speech... check.  This has been an incredible beat down of all the things wrong in Europe, with NATO and with he open border, climate freak crowd.  I'm so happy.
   We also have learned a story that Barron Trump is a hero of sorts as a friend of his credits him with saving her life last year.  You have to hear this story.
   Bill Self is back to work and was on the air of his weekly radio show Wednesday night.  He's coaching Saturday in Manhattan and we have the latest on his health and the Darryn Peterson ankle injury.
   KU and KSU's football schedules were released yesterday and they are polar opposites.  One looks exactly like Mizzou's schedule last year, the other looks like KSU's.  We'll sort it out for you.
  Missouri lawmakers are deciding if they want to cancel proposition bets on college athletes.  I hope they do and I'll explain why.
  And our Final Final is the ultimate outlaw fishing charter from a company named Outlaw Fishing Charters.

   Air Force One experiences electrical problems after takeoff to Switzerland and turns around to Andrews Air Base.  All is well but the big plane is grounded and Trump and the press had to take two different planes to Switzerland.  That's where Trump is expected to unload on the globalists and they may have already had enough after hearing from Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick the first day.
   A famous sports reporter announces she is running for US Senate, this could work.  A young, uninformed, crazy liberal on CNN step in it big time saying it's provably true that Trump was part of a sex trafficking ring.  This could be a lawsuit... soon.
   Jacque Vaughn wins for KU filling in for Bill Self at CU.  It looked just like a Bill Self win... great defense late and a couple huge baskets.  We update Self's condition as his return should be soon.
   KC gets very good news about which World Cup teams will be based in our area.  A Chiefs player is selling his car online because he's broke after making $2 million this past season.  There is NFL news about a new schedule.  Former Royal Carlos Beltran is the leading vote getter and makes the baseball Hall of Fame while Alex Gordon gets only one vote.
   Our Final Final is an incredible collection of historical documents coming to KC for America 250.
